CVE-2023-44221 is a command injection vulnerability found in the SMA100 SSL-VPN management interface. It allows a remote, authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to inject arbitrary commands. These commands are executed as the "nobody" user, potentially leading to OS command injection. This vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of special elements within the SMA100 SSL-VPN management interface. It is often exploited in conjunction with other vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2024-38475, to bypass authentication and gain administrative control over affected systems.

Description: Improper neutralization of special elements in the SMA100 SSL-VPN management interface allows a remote authenticated attacker with administrative privilege to inject arbitrary commands as a 'nobody' user, potentially leading to OS Command Injection Vulnerability.
